The GPS toolset contains tools to convert between GPS Exchange Format (GPX) and feature classes.
GPX is an XML data format maintained by TopoGrafix for saving the results from a GPS receiver. This XML-based standard allows GPS waypoints (points), tracks (lines), and routes to be saved and shared. Points are collected in the WGS 1984 coordinate system and are saved in a latitude–longitude pairing, usually with time and elevation information. Converting GPX files to features allows for their use in ArcGIS. Converting features to a GPX file allows for the use of ArcGIS feature data in various third-party GPS applications.
